Martin is spinning a rope over his head with a weight attached to the end. The rope has a length of 1.7 m, and Martin spins it so that the weight has a velocity of 5.9 m/s. If the rope can only withstand a force of 88 N, what is the maximum mass the weight can have?
An adventurous archeologist (m = 84.5 kg) tries to cross a river by swinging from a vine. The vine is 10.5 m long, and his speed at the bottom of the swing is 8.75 m/s. The archeologist doesn't know that the vine has a breaking strength of 1,000 N. Does he make it safely across the river without falling in?
Yes or No
I am currently really struggling in my physics class and really need help. I've reached out to both my teacher and school and neither are helping me. My teacher is really hard for me to understand so when learning the material I am left confused. I really do not know how to solve this problem or any problem like this at all. I need as much help as I can get.

The rod hangs straight down at rest with a small massive ball attached to its bottom end. You strike the ball, suddenly giving it a horizontal velocity so that it swing around in full circle. What minimum speed (m/s) at the bottom is required to make the ball go over the top of the circle? Round your answer to 2 decimal places.arrow_forwardTwo bugs, Buzz and Crunchy, are siting on a spinning disk on a horizontal plane. Buzz is sitting halfway and Crunchy is sitting at the outer edge as shown. The radius of the disk is 0.80 m and the disk is rotating with an angular speed of 38 rpm. The coefficient of friction between the bugs and the disk are us = 0.80 and uk= 0.60. What is the magnitude of Buzz's acceleration, in m/s2? Your answer needs to have 2 significant figures, including the negative sign in your answer if needed. Do not include the positive sign if the answer is positive.

By the time the ball is at the bottom of the arc, its speed is not changing anymore. A decent bowler can make the ball travel the length of the 60-ft alley in about 2.1 s. Ignore the (small) friction between the ball and the lane, so the ball travels at constant speed, once released. Calculate the speed of the ball moving across the alley when the bowler releases it? Round the final answer to the nearest whole number. In what direction is the ball accelerating when it’s at the bottom of the swing and the bowler has not yet released it? If the bowler has 2-ft-long arms, estimate the magnitude of the ball’s acceleration. Round the final answer to the nearest whole number. Estimate the total force on the 14-lb ball.
